A coworker of mine very frequently will say something indirectly then follow his extremely obvious implication with "you see what I'm getting at?" It's so annoying, bro just say what you mean. They're never clever and don't add anything so he's just making things take longer and demanding a response.
Why do you think he does it?
Because they want someone to agree with them about something. My coworker does that same thing, especially when it comes to history or politics. Problem is, he doesn't know what he's talking about, and therefore his metaphors and euphamisms confuse me even more because they're straight up wrong or aren't comparable. That leads me to ask him to actually say what he's trying to say, which results in me usually disagreeing and occasionally starting arguments.
This might be a clue...
Sometimes unhappy, lonely, or insecure people do that.
